I offer this as additional proof that stunning images (or at least the potential for them) are all around us. This is just three of my wife’s mixing bowls, nested and placed atop an LED light, with dandelion seeds and stems placed in the smallest bowl. Seriously, it’s that simple. I’m so glad that my mom and dad (and especially my grandmother), took me aside very early on and whispered, “Peter, everything is amazing,” in my ear. 

Here’s the big Flickr version.
